DOMA at CANDY BOX DANCE FESTIVAL 〰️ April 24 - 26 〰️ Southern Theater 〰️

Under the direction of Alexandra Bodnarchuk, Doma Dance Theater creates original dance works that explore the body as a tangible site of culture. As the first Carpatho Rusyn American choreographer to make contemporary works with a folk lens, Bodnarchuk’s work offers a potent invitation to rediscover the unrecognized histories embedded in each of us.
